More than 200 women packed the foyer of Toronto’s Shaarei Shomayim Synagogue earlier this summer for Savour the Flavour, a fundraiser in support of abused Jewish women. The event began with a cocktail party. But instead of serving the usual dainty tidbits and finger foods, the waitstaff brought out generous portions of hearty, old-fashioned dishes like sweet-and-sour meatballs (recipe here) and pulled brisket with barbecue sauce.
